The devices will come equipped with Windows 7 Starter, and customers will have the option of 200 Mbytes of data transfer for $35 per month or 5 Gbytes for $60 per month, as part of the AT&T DataConnect plan.

Both netbooks feature 10-inch screens and weigh less than three pounds. They include an Intel Atom processor, a 160-GB hard drive, 1-GB of memory, high-definition audio, and built-in webcams. The Acer Aspire also has three USB 2.0 ports and video-conferencing features.

The Samsung Go normally retails for about $450 and the Acer Aspire One for $319.

"Demand for netbooks remains strong among consumers, small business customers, and those who desire constant access to the Internet while on-the-go," David Haight, vice president, product development, AT&T emerging devices, said in a statement.

The rebate will be issued in the form of an AT&T promotion debit card. There is no early termination fee (ETF) for the first 30 days, but then jumps to a pro-rated $175 fee. Customers could face an activation fee of up to $36.

AT&T already sells the XP-based Acer Aspire One and Lenovo S10 for $149.99, as well as the XP-based Dell Mini 10 for $99.99. All three also require a two-year data contract.
